Configuration variable descrptions
Where/how do I enter comments for configuration variables? Feature variables have a description field, but I don't see any field for config variables.

BSPP and BSPT Threads
Continuing to bring to light the need for additional thread capabilities. Can we please get standard thread sizes added to Onshape? BSPP and BSPT among other would be great and something i wouldn't think would be hard to add to the hole wizard.

New Custom Feature: Segmented Pipe
A Featurescript to create a one or more pipes (cylinder or hollow tubes) between two locations (point, MC, arc, circle). The pipe can be split into segments with a remainder piece representing a cut section. Various options are available during creation.
I created this to help with HVAC ductwork.
Let me know if you have issues or improvement requests.
